Early last spring : senator Palmer pur
chased the property on the southwest
corner of Fort and Shelby streets, Detroit,
for $4,000 The property is directly op-
poste the site of the new postotfice, and
Mr.. Palmer proposes to erect on 1T fine
business block, which shall also contain
a suite of apartments for the use of the
G.. A. Il. of Detroit. The liberal intention
of the senator naturally created much in
terest in Grand Army circles. The pro
iect lay quiescent since that time, but the
senator only held it in allegiance till he had
fully made up his mind.
Within the past few days he finally con
cluded to donate the munifcent sum of
$4,000 in cash to the Grand Army OF the
Republic in Michigan. The money is in
tended as a nucleus for sum which will
be adequate to buy Il site in Detroit and
erect thereon q. \. X. hal, fully equip

which Colonel Long suggests that the African
expedition headed by Henry Nj. Stanley is not

iect tho seizure for the benefit of England. of
the north central provinces, which we're annexed
to Egypt in 1874. Naturally, the statements
made by Colonel Long have created considerable
comment among geographers, and especially
among those who were crying loudly for the
cue of Emin Pasha Mr.. Tisdel says that in his
opinion, Stanley's expedition not at all in the
Interest of humanity, but of conquest and com
merce.
He calls attention TO the fact th at we are hear
ing almost weekly from Emin Pasha, that the
routes are open, ard that he is not lost. On
the 18th of April we learn from Somali traders,
who reached Zanzibar from Uganda, that when
they left Emiu Pasha was living quietly with

1000 wives. Again, the 18th of May, DIR.

ing discovered a southern affiuent to the Albert
Nyanza thus showing that he is engaged in
making explorations, quite unconcerned about
the expedition which the world at large believes
has gone to his relief. Mr.. Tisdel believes, as
does Col Chaille Long, that there has been no
time during the last four years that Emin Pasha
could not have made his way to some point on
the coast, even to Cairo. had he wished to do

expedition is but the forerunner of another
